Grady Little leaving Pedro Martinez in during Game 7 of the 2003 ALCS.
When Jeter hit his double with one out, it was 5-2 Red Sox with just 5 outs remaining, Pedro had already thrown 110 pitches. Mike Timlin and Alan Embree had a 0.00 ERA combined in 8 appearances in that series up to that point. This still astounds me.

Pulling Snell was god-tier fuck-up, but Carroll throwing on the goal line is definitely up there.

The Seahawks call is rightfully on anyone’s list, but feels different than other examples. The play could have worked. Also ball hits ground you have another play or two. Just blew up in their face on top of being a bad call. In the final seconds of the super bowl.
But the other stuff like pulling Snell, that was never going to work. LeFleur kicking the FG was never going to work.
Bad call coupled with poor execution vs. unforgivably bad call with no chance of working made by a complete idiot.

Pulling John Smoltz for Charlie Leidbrandt in the 91 series effectively handing one of the best pitched World Series games ever to Jack Morris. (Both pitchers were amazing).
Falcons trading for Michael Vick. San Diego used Atlanta’s pick for Ladanian Tomlinson, then used their own 1st pick of the 2nd round to draft some guy named Drew Brees.

Forgot about this. Also, a Georgetown player inexplicably throwing it right to a North Carolina player in the final moments of the 1982 National Championship.
